Ayushmann Khurrana who is currently awaiting the release of Dream Girl 2, said that he never planned to have a hit comedy franchise in his filmography.
Ayushmann Khurrana began his journey in films with off-beat roles and successfully went on to become the poster boy of new-age cinema. However, the Dream Girl franchise was a very different script from his staple genre of films. The film upon its release in 2019, was loved by the audiences and went on to become a blockbuster at the box office.
Dream Girl was very different as a film had all the trappings of a masala commercial film and now with Dream Girl 2, its twice the excitement for the audience.
Talking about the same, Ayushmann Khurrana shares, “I had never planned that I will have a hit comedy franchise in my filmography. This, honestly, has accidentally happened to me. As luck would have it, I have only scouted for disruptive projects that are entertaining and engaging to as many people as possible! I chanced upon Dream Girl franchise and it ticked all the right boxes for me because it is truly a break-out concept that hasn’t been explored by heroes of my generation.”
He further adds, ” I like to always be original as an artiste and bring out of the box concepts to people. You can’t get any more different than the Dream Girl franchise which is why I feel people have loved the first film so much and now the trailer reaction for Dream Girl 2 suggests that we are on the right track to deliver a solid entertainer to audiences. Every promotional material of this franchise has been loved by people. So, I hope they truly love Dream Girl 2. We have worked hard to bring people an entertainer that should make them fall off their seats.”
Dream Girl 2 features Ananya Panday opposite Ayushmann Khurrana.
